Capture Erebus Alive
How did you manage to do that?
Ashbell, looking shocked, opened the communicator and asked the Damo.
"Of course it was taught by your Aeldari." The Damo was somewhat surprised, not believing that this Aeldari Farseer would ask such a question.
It should be noted that, with Xi Ling's help, they had mastered the technology to open the Webway portal a long time ago.
Later, the Farseer, including Eldrad, shared the technology of the Webway with them.
The current Imperium of Man can not only open the Webway, but also repair Webway.
"We taught them? How could that be?" Ashbell didn't believe such an explanation.
"Eldrad and the Aeldari have already taught us the relevant technology. Opening the entrance to the Webway is nothing; we can even repair the Webway."
"In a few days, the Webway you damaged will be repaired by us."
After Damo finished speaking, he immediately realized the problem.
It seems that communication between the different Craftworld is not smooth.
This great Farseer from the world of Iyanden Craftworld was unaware that the Aeldari forces, including the Harlequins and the Ynnari, had reached a permanent cooperation agreement with the Imperium of Man.
The main reason is that the Craftworld Iyanden is too remote, far away from other mainstream Craftworld, and there is not much interaction between them.
Therefore, there are many things they don't understand.
"The Craftworld Ulthwe? They taught you the Webway technology?"
How could they do such a thing?
Upon hearing the name Eldrad,
Ashbell immediately understood that the other Craftworld Aeldari had reached an agreement with these humans.
These guys not only taught humans how to open the Webway, but also how to repair Webway in it.
If this trend continues, humanity will eventually gain complete control of the Webway.
At that time, it will be truly unclear whether the Webway belongs to humans or the Aeldari.
Thinking about all this, Ashbell became somewhat angry.
The Aeldari Empire collapsed, and the entire race's power plummeted to its lowest point in history.
Webway technology is the foundation of the Aeldari and their last resort.
Teaching this to humans would be like inviting wolves into the house.
This is a betrayal of the Aeldari, the most shameless betrayal.
Those guys in the Craftworld Ulthwe are all traitors.
They committed unforgivable crimes against the Aeldari.
If one day humanity launches a war against the Aeldari, leading to the Aeldari's extinction, then the Farseer Ulthwé, led by Eldrad, will be the culprit.
"By the way, your Laughing God has also reached an agreement with the Imperium, promising to increase investment in humanity and enable humanity to fully master the Webway. If we form an alliance to fight against the Chaos Gods in the future, we can also share the knowledge in the Black Library left behind by the Old Ones."
The Damo's words immediately shocked Ashbell, who harbored a deep hatred for the Craftworld Ulthwe.
The only surviving Aeldari god, the god of laughter, Cegorach, actually made a deal with these Mon-keigh!
Not only are they willing to share their Webway technology, but they also promise to share the Black Library left behind by the Old Ones.
What does this even mean?!
The Old Ones were the creators of the Aeldari.
They guided the Aeldari, helping Aeldari create civilization and build their own Pantheon.
The Aeldari were once the most glorious civilization in the Milky Way, but they were well aware that there was still an unimaginable gap between themselves and the Old Ones.
The Black Library contains all the knowledge left behind by the Old Ones; it is the crystallization of their wisdom.
Any civilization that can obtain and digest the knowledge in the Black Library can leap to become a top civilization.
Even at their peak, only a handful of Aeldari were allowed to enter this library.
And now, the god of laughter Cegorach, who is the guardian of the Black Library, has actually agreed to share it with humanity.
What is it about these humans that they've set their sights on?
Why are we willing to pay such a high price to cooperate with humans?
Why didn't I know any of these things?
If the Laughing God reaches an agreement with these human Mon-keigh, then the Craftworld Ulthwe will not be considered a traitor, but rather a hero.
They took the first step towards win-win cooperation.
If in the future, humans can truly assist the Aeldari in defeating the Dark Prince, then Eldrad and the Aeldari will also become heroes.
Thinking of this, Ashbell, who was originally resentful that the Craftworld Ulthwe had sold out the Webway technology, felt a pang of jealousy.
Those guys in Eldrad actually have such vision, managing to persuade the Laughing God to cooperate with humans.
Looking at Ashbell's projection, and seeing that the other was deep in thought, Damo didn't press further.
I had no idea that the other person's thoughts were so complex, and that so many emotions could arise in such a short time.
If they knew, they would probably all sigh in amazement.
"No wonder, people say that bean sprouts are more sensitive to emotions than humans. They get more sensory stimulation from the same things."
"A race capable of nurturing Slaanesh is indeed not to be underestimated."
The Aeldari are known for their sensitive and changeable emotions; this is both their talent and their weakness, allowing them to better control the power of psychic energy.
Anything they do resonates far more strongly in the Warp than anything other races do.
In the final years of the Aeldari Empire, the bloody gladiatorial combats, assassinations, and conspiracies that occurred in various cities were all acts committed by the Aeldari to obtain more sensory stimulation.
If the happiness that an ordinary human can derive from an action is 1, then the happiness that the Aeldari can derive is 10.
This is the essential difference between the two races.
After learning why humans had mastered Webway technology, Ashbell remained silent. She shut down communications and ordered the Wraithbone Warship to follow the human fleet.
"Once this is over, I'm going to visit the Craftworld Ulthwe and see just how many other things they've been hiding from us!!"
Ashbell planned to resolve the Erebus issue by going to Eldrad and the Aeldari to find out the whole story and their plans.
Meanwhile, with the help of other Aeldari Farseer, Ashbell intends to observe the development of the Fate Lines.
Her willingness to inform Erebus of the alliance between humans and Eldrad and other Aeldari, even without knowing that humans had formed an alliance with them, clearly indicates that she wasn't doing a good deed.
Rather, it's because Erebus has threatened the world of Iyanden's Craftworld.
Several years ago, Ashbell began experiencing frequent precognitive hallucinations.
Erebus will lead the Chaos Warrior and demons to destroy the world of Iyanden Craftworld.
They will also steal the Soul Stone from the world of Iyanden's Craftworld and enslave their deceased ancestors.
She had to change this terrible fate.
However, this time, Ashbell saw nothing.
The future is gloomy and empty, as if some terrible force has destroyed everything, turning the future into Chaos, making it impossible to observe anymore.
"Everything has become unknown."
Ashbell tried several times, but to no avail, and had no choice but to give up.
"Now, we can only place our hopes on these human Mon-keigh and hope that they can successfully eliminate Erebus."
The fleet traversed a complex Webway, encountering demons along the way.
But those demons didn't cause much trouble and were wiped out by the fleet.
Players' combat power is becoming increasingly formidable, and ordinary demons can no longer pose a threat to high-level players.
Of course, players also have no way to actually kill the demon.
The only option is to banish them back to the Warp.
After leaving the Webway, the players' warships headed straight for the world of Solonis, as described by the Aeldari Farseer Ashbell.
Erebus is hiding here, plotting his next scheme with his henchmen.
Solonis is a world ruled by Chaos forces.
Some of the Chaos leaders active in Koronus and traitors who openly oppose the Imperium exchange their supplies here.
The Dark Mechanicus also considers this an important market.
With enough money, you can buy most of the Imperium's standard weapons and ammunition here, as well as Daemon Engine and demon minions from the demon Forge World.
The one who controls this place is a man rumored to be blessed by the gods— Calligos.
Rumor has it that he is a wizard being hunted by the Imperium.
Calligos was originally a citizen of the Calixis Imperium.
His early life was no different from that of many ordinary citizens of the Imperium.
Until he suddenly awakened his psychic talent.
That night, he screamed and released an unimaginable mental wave, the first wave of which killed citizens of the Imperium in twenty-six worlds.
In this terrible disaster, more than 60 billion people were killed or injured. It was extremely devastating and at one point paralyzed these worlds, rendering them unable to function normally.
Therefore, the Inquisition listed Calligos as a target that had to be eliminated and dispatched a professional special forces team to carry out his execution.
However, after awakening, Calligos received help from several dark wizards and the blessing of the Chaos Gods.
In this way, he successfully mastered his own spiritual power.
He also made a pact with a demon.
With the help of the demon, he killed the special agents sent by the Inquisition and even stole a ship.
Using that ship, he entered the Koronus Expanse and spent ten years becoming the ruler of the world of Solonis.
With his powerful psychic energy, he intimidated those foolish fellows.
If we set aside the Imperium perspective and judge it from the viewpoint of an ordinary person, Calligos's story is nothing short of legendary.
"We need to stabilize the situation this time and blockade the star system first," Damo said in the communication channel.
Little Alpaca: "I agree, Erebus is too cunning."
A Bowl of Lobster Soup: "I also support it. We can't be like Damo and let this bad seed go."
Damo: "..."
The once-powerful leader of the island has been reduced to an object of ridicule.
Unbearable
This time, at all costs, we must capture Erebus alive.
He wasn't trying to tell others how awesome he was.
Instead, he wanted to tell everyone that he would definitely wash away all the shame.
With the players reaching a consensus, the Dimensional Controller they had brought were quickly deployed.
The world of Solonis was trapped in Dimensional Space, which blocked all spacetime and stripped it from the Realspace.
Even with a divine artifact capable of cleaving through reality and time, one cannot escape.
The surface of the planet Solonis
Erebus immediately sensed the change in space. He took out his dagger and made a slash in the air.
A crack radiating light appeared.
However, strange roars continued to emanate from the depths of the crack.
This rift does not connect to the Warp, nor to other worlds, but to another mysterious space.
Heavy footsteps sounded, as if the creature on the other side of the crack had noticed that its living space had been opened and was coming over to investigate.
"These Outsider really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."
Erebus reached out and smoothed away the crack.
But before the rift closed, Erebus caught a glimpse of a terrifying behemoth.
It has countless eyes and tentacles, and each tentacle is wrapped around a planet.
"Extraterrestrial beings".
Erebus has not wasted these ten thousand years.
He continued to study theology.
It's not just about studying Milky Way theology, but also cosmic theology.
To fully understand the secrets of this universe.
The Milky Way may seem vast, but it is insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe.
If there are Chaos Gods here, do other star systems also have their own Chaos gods, or something else?
Throughout these years, Erebus has explored the ruins of various ancient civilizations and cooperated with mysterious organizations to exchange knowledge.
After some effort, he also achieved some results and learned of the existence of Extragalactic Old Gods.
The Extragalactic Old Gods are even more ancient and more powerful.
They even have apostles who travel throughout the Milky Way, secretly observing the evolution of all races and gods.
However, Erebus had no way to contact these Extragalactic Old Gods.
They merely observe, rarely interfering in anything within the Milky Way.
They do not need faith, nor do they respond to anyone who believes in them.
The selection of the apostles was also appointed by Him.
This troubled Erebus greatly, as he couldn't understand the purpose of these Extragalactic Old Gods.
The Chaos Gods at least have the Eye of Terror to visit on pilgrimage, and they can also receive blessings and build relationships through Fanaticism faith.
However, those Extragalactic Old Gods were not interested in any of this; they simply sent apostles to observe everything in the Milky Way.
It was as if everything happening in the Milky Way was irrelevant to them.
What Erebus had just seen were the retinues of those Extragalactic Old Ones.
These things are also impossible to communicate about.
Even more terrifying is their astonishing assimilation ability. As long as they get close to those Extragalactic Kin, even demons will go mad, their bodies will twist, and they will eventually become like them.
The crack disappeared, Erebus withdrew his gaze, looking back at the sky.
Those Outsider have blocked his escape route, so now he has no choice but to take a gamble.
"Come down and see whether the power of the higher dimensions is stronger or the might of the gods is more terrifying."
"Baptizing you with a Chaos ritual created by sacrificing hundreds of millions of lives, I don't believe that you can still maintain yourselves and remain unchanged after such powerful Chaos energy enters your bodies."
Erebus muttered to himself,
He was willing to risk everything in this battle to plunge these Outsider into utter Chaos and make them slaves of the gods.
The hatred between the Imperium of Man and the Chaos traitors can only be cleansed with blood.
The Void war broke out as soon as the players arrived in the Solonis star system.
However, the Chaos Traitor's fleet proved utterly vulnerable to the players.
In just a few rounds of fighting, they were completely destroyed, and the Imperium achieved an overwhelming victory.
"It seems that the battle in the Void is just a prelude; the real test is on the ground."
Damo frowned as he looked at the observation images on the ground.
P. S.: Another chapter, thank you for your support.
